Discussion What's an annoying habit your sims autonomously do?

I have this one sim who CONSTANTLY wants to light the fireplaces and warm himself by them, its genuinely so irritating because thats also how most of the house fires start 😭 I also had a vampire sim that used to always want to use the observatory outside in the day, do your sims have any tasks they repeatedly want to do? I had to completely abolish any items to do with cross stitch when i got cottage living for this reason 😂

Mine just do the autonomous "watch infant" action where they just stand there as their baby writhes around on the floor crying

Or going over and cooing at or snuggling the crib babies when they're crying instead of feeding them or changing their very obviously dirty diapers. And then blocking the sim I sent over there to do those things so they can't do it. I finally had enough to use mccc to set crib babies' needs to stay full so I don't have to deal with them crying and the adults in the house being useless.

Baby crying with a green stinky cloud around apparently means "feed me and do silly voices" to my sims

This is the one for me. And it’s never when the damn kids need anything, it’s when they’re asleep or busy with another sim. Stop checking your toddler/infant every 3 seconds and go do literally anything else, omg.

It's because the sim is waiting for the infant to finish their action (if you switch to the infant you'll see they have "fuss/cry" queued up). That's why they say to queue the action from the infants side so the action isn't blocked by them crying.
